The Deduru Oya Dam is an embankment dam built across the Deduru River in Kurunegala District of Sri Lanka. Built in 2014, the primary purpose of the dam is to retain for irrigation purposes approximately a billion cubic metres of water, which would otherwise flow out to sea. Site studies of the dam began in 2006 and construction started in 2008. It was ceremonially completed in 2014, with the presence of then President Mahinda Rajapaksa.[1]
Site studies and design of the dam was done by engineers from the Ministry of Irrigation. The dam, which measures approximately Шаблон:Convert wide, creates the Deduru Oya Reservoir, which has a capacity of Шаблон:Convert. Water from the reservoir is used to irrigate approximately Шаблон:Convert of farmland, while also powering a Шаблон:Nowrap hydroelectric power station, operated by the Ministry of Power and Energy.[2]
In addition to the eight sluice gates, water from the reservoir is channelled from the reservoir (for irrigation) via three canals, namely the Left Canal, Central Canal, and the South Canal. The South Canal is a trans-basin concrete canal measuring Шаблон:Convert, channelling water from the Deduru Oya Reservoir to the Inginimitiya Reservoir at a flow rate of Шаблон:Convert.[3]
